Her talk built drama and connected emotionally to the audience, leading you to see a new perspective. Based on that performance and the fact that she went on to win the award for best storyteller, I knew I had to get her on the show. Not only did I want her to unpack the craft behind that talk, but I also wanted to dig into the powerful work she's doing at the intersection of education, leadership, and human behaviour.
